As I write this message, I am conscious that these times are difficult for all. Each of you are aware of the ways the covid-19 pandemic and its implications are affecting our emotions, sense of well-being, sense of hope both personally and communally. We particularly hold in our prayers and concern those directly affected – those who have contracted the virus, the elderly in their vulnerability, those who find themselves alone, those families who are struggling with loss of income, the young whose dreams for the future have been put on hold, medical personnel very much on the front line and leaders who carry heavy responsibilities at this time. As a nation and a global community we together share the pains and anguish of our time. I recently was reading the novel The seen Augustine, the woman , now elderly, hears Confessions of X – A Novel by Suzanne Wolfe. It that Bishop Augustine is dying in Hippo as the city is a speculative account of the experience of the is in turmoil with the Vandal invasions. She risks woman loved by Augustine in his youth who was the her own safety to travel a great distance to visit mother of their son Adeodatus. The contemporary him one last time. The havoc in the city of Hippo author writes as though she was the unnamed as she arrives is described in vivid detail. The woman and so writes in the first person. Though final scene is her witness of Augustine on his bed the work is one of using what was known from praying the psalms as he entrusts his life to God. Augustine’s own Confessions and other sources as For the woman this scene is a testament to hope - a springboard for the imagination, it is a profoundly a hope not unrealistically removed from what can moving account of the woman’s experience of love, appear to overwhelm us but hope in the midst of cruel separation, grief and acceptance. Towards the struggle, hope that transforms. the end of the novel, after many years of not having 2 THE AUGUSTINIAN | AUGUST 2020 Fr. Sullivan with Vietnamese born Augustinians: Deacon Tuan, Br. Tu, Fr. Tran and Fr. Hoang In a very different context, as this year’s celebration of the Solemnity of Saint Augustine draws near, hope that can sustain us as we grapple with what is chaotic and difficult to comprehend is a gift for which we all yearn and by which we seek to support one another through our acts of compassion and concern. This is the time of the year when the Order in Australia promotes the Annual Augustinian Appeal. We are conscious that many individuals and families in our ministries are struggling so this informing you of the 2020 Appeal is done with sensitivity. There are three causes for which the Order invites assistance – our community in Vietnam, the Augustinian Seminary and Augustinian Volunteers Australia. You are welcome to choose to which of these you may wish to contribute. However, our greatest need is support for the community in Saigon, Vietnam. Frs Tran, Hoang and Sullivan are doing great work in hosting five young vocation enquirers learning about Augustinian community life and they guide three pre-novices in the formation programme. While of our three causes, this Augustinian Vietnam Appeal is not able to attract a tax deduction, we hope you are able to consider helping us in supporting this endeavour. I hope you enjoy this issue of The Augustinian – joyous news on the recent ordinations of Fr. Phạm Quang Tuyến (Tuyến) OSA (priesthood) and Deacon Lê Tuấn Anh (Tuấn Anh) OSA (diaconate), an international perspective of the Augustinian family in the time pandemic from Fr. Tony Banks OSA (Assistant General) and a report from Paul Wilson (Augustinian Volunteers Australia) on the Bigambul project. In our regular features of our ministries, there is a focus on Holy Spirit Parish, St Clair, NSW. You are all in the prayers of the members of the Order in these days. Best wishes to each of you and your families for this year’s celebration of Saint Augustine’s Day. - Fr. Peter Jones OSA CHECK OUT OUR NEW WEBSITE! We are pleased to announce the launch of our brand new website! Visit www.osa.org.au to check it out and let us know what you think. We welcome any feedback you may have on how we can further improve the website. We hope you enjoy the fresh look of our redesigned website! VISIT US ONLINE | www. osa.org.au ORDINATION OF PHAM QUANG TUYEN OSA On Saturday 1st August 2020 at Holy Spirit parish, St Clair, Sydney, Vietnamese Augustinian of the Australian Province, Pham Quang Tuyen (31), was ordained priest by Bishop Vincent Long, bishop of Parramatta Diocese, Sydney. Bishop Long himself came to Australia at the age of 19 and hails from the same village in Vietnam as Tuyen. Because of the Covid19 restrictions, Tuyen’s ordination had already been postponed from last May and at this time only 100 guests were allowed to attend. Fortunately, Tuyen’s parents had come to his ordination to the diaconate last August 20th and this time were able to participate in real time from Vietnam as the entire ceremony was streamed. His uncle and two cousins were, however, able to attend as they live in Sydney. Tuyen has been 7 years in formation in Australia and has spent the last 18 months in St Clair parish under the mentorship of Fathers Peter Tangey and Michael Belonio OSA. Tuyen’s family is fairly unique in that he has two other brothers who are priests, another was ordained deacon in July this year and his youngest brother has just joined our Augustinian aspirants in Saigon. God willing, that could be five priests from the one family. So Tuyen’s parents could rival the parents of St Therese of Lisieux who have recently been canonized saints, the first to be canon- ized as a couple. All their five daughters became nuns - Fr. John Sullivan OSA 4 THE AUGUSTINIAN | AUGUST 2020 Congratulations TO OUR NEW DEACON The Ordination of Brother Tuan Anh Le OSA to the Diaconate on August 15th was a faithfilled experience even under the restrictions placed on us through numbers attending and maintaining social distancing. It was so appropriate that the feast day was the Assumption of Mary as she is also the patron of Tuan Anh’s Diocese in Vietnam. Archbishop Mark Coleridge gave an inspiring homily on the victory of Christ ‘s Redemptive victory over death …”and the last of the enemies to be destroyed is death…” (1 Cor 15-25} making the connection between Mary’s Assumption and the Resurrection. While there was a good representation from clergy and seminarians from the Archdiocese, the travel restrictions meant that the Augustinians and affiliates from the southern states were not able to be present. The streaming of the event made it possible for the ceremony to be seen in Sydney, Melbourne and especially by Tuan Anh’s family and friends in Vietnam. The parish community of Coorparoo was honoured and enthusiastic to be part of our Brother Tuan Anh’s journey to the priesthood. All look forward to the exercise of his pastoral ministry in the months ahead. As Tuan Anh commented to the Archbishop at the concluding speeches…”Archbishop, you have literally made my day.” May he continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit. - Ray Mitchell VISIT US ONLINE | www. osa.org.au FORMATION UPDATE or about 6 months now our life as a F church and as an Augustinian community have been challenged by the Corona Virus pandemic. Many of the activities in our lives have been put on hold including the programs in the life of the Australian Province. Having said that, it is not all ‘dark and gloomy’ for the students in our forma- tion houses. Milestones happened to some and re- newal of commitments to others. I want to share to you the recent events in the life of our students: On Wednesday, 17th June, 2020 Brothers Đỗ Đức Brother John Zhang OSA (right) with Fr.

  • John J. Sullivan
    NNATIONALATIONAL RRIGHTIGHT TOTO WWORKORK CCOMMITTEEOMMITTEE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION PERSONNEL ALERT John J. Sullivan Big Labor Lawyer Nominated Position: Federal Election Commissioner Executive Summary The phrase of the week has been “life experience” regarding President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination. So, today’s National Right To Work Committee alert looks at the real “life experi- ence” of Federal Election Board nominee John Sullivan. From his time as a Steelworkers Union President (1978) through today, Sullivan’s working life experience has been focused on defending the actions of labor union bosses and promoting their forced-dues power. Even during his brief time as a Teamsters Election Officer Counsel, the public record available indicates that his actions supported power grabs by corrupt, incumbent union bosses. In one case, he represented the Election Officer in his demand to disclose personal information about those who supported the incumbent Teamster boss’ opponents. Sullivan’s legal positions must have impressed some Teamster union bosses because soon-to-be barred-for-life Teamster Boss Ron Carey hired Sullivan to be the Teamster Associate General Counsel. While Sullivan was Teamster Counsel, the Teamsters and multiple organizations, in- cluding the Clinton White House and the Democrat National Committee, devised and pursued a multi-million dollar election campaign finance money laundering scheme. This scheme directly involved familiar names like Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes. Despite the legal efforts of Sullivan and other Teamster lawyers, the federal government took the extreme and rare step of barring Sullivan’s boss, Ron Carey, for life from the Teamsters un- ion.

But according to the statement of St. Paul, “born of a woman”, He is the Son of Mary. The same Lord of Mary is the Son of Mary. The very creator of Mary was born of Mary.” - Saint Augustine, Sermon on John 8, 8-9 At the heart of Christmas faith is the intimacy of God and humanity expressed in self- emptying love. Jesus reveals this intimacy in his very self. Mary’s welcoming of this gift in her body Christ into her heart. (cf. St Augustine, Sermon 25, 7-8)makes sense because she had first fully welcomed The longing in our hearts for a sense of the nearness of God is a gift.

  • Keeping Our Focus on Francis an SFO REVIEW - Fr
    Keeping our focus on Francis AN SFO REVIEW - Fr. John Sullivan, ofm ALL CREATION in Christ B1 have on hand: SFO Rule; Catechism of Cath.Church St. Paul wrote to the Colossians (1:15-18) “He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creatures. In him everything in heaven and on earth was created, things visible and invisible. All were created through him; all were created for him. He is before all else that is. In him everything continues in being. It is he who is head of the body, the church!.. he who is the beginning, the first-born of the dead, so that primacy may be his in everything. Friar Celano-I in (-p.250-1 ) chapter 29 describes the love that he [Francis] had toward all creatures for the sake of the creator and a description of both aspects of his person. “To enumerate and recount all the things our glorious father Francis did and taught while living in the flesh would be a lengthy or an even impossible task. Who could ever express the deep affection he bore for all things that belong to God. Or who would be able to tell of the sweet tenderness he enjoyed while contemplating in creatures the wisdom, power, and goodness of the Creator? From this reflection he often overflowed with amazing, unspeakable joy as he looked at the sun, gazed at the moon, or observed the stars in the sky. What simple piety! What pious simplicity!” And there’s more.... Friar Thomas of Celano reflects (Cel-II, chap.124,in Omnibus,p.494): “In every work of the artist he [Francis] praised the Artist; whatever he found in the things made he referred to the Maker.

Laura Diamond Dissertation in partial fulfilment of: M.A. in Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice St Mary’s University 2015 1 RegNum: 921383 Abstract This dissertation has been written in the context of Catholic school leadership and examines the extent to which senior leaders in Catholic primary schools are trained, prepared and willing to take on the role of Head Teacher. In order to explore the preparation of potential Head Teachers, a number of key areas have been examined including: the role of the Head Teacher; the preparation essential to the role as well as potential challenges in recruiting Head Teachers to Catholic primary schools. A small scale research project was then designed to evaluate the extent to which these key areas contributed to the preparation of potential Head Teachers in a sample of four Catholic primary schools.
